A very thoughtful Christian..seems his actions differ a lot from my interoperation of the faith.

Surely this time around, technological advancements in the name of "national security" won't end up used on its citizens ;)

Genuinely a bit shocked at the naivety on HN on this topic but maybe thats a misunderstanding on my part. Happy to be shown otherwise. Alex Karp, if you're reading this, please don't send your fent laced urine spraying drones after me!

What inspired me to pursue computer related fields was making little badges and forum signatures in Photoshop as a teen. Heartwarming to see this tradition has persisted

I'm not a fan of this either but I fail to see how its much different than the happy path tech demos of old.

I've noticed a lot of content lately that purposely farms engagement through dark patterns. For instance: getting a detail wrong or poor spelling/grammar almost always draws a lot of responses to dunk on the original creator.

When platforms like Twitter and TikTok monetize engagement you realize that these can often be intentional. Once you recognize the patterns it becomes very hard to unsee.

Ask the average American worker if they'd like an extra $2300 a year. And yes I understand thats pre-tax. But even so, thats a non-negligible amount for a lot of people.

In the US it exists but you have to be a bit more aware of body language and such. Not everyone is as open. But generally communities exist all around you in the US, you may just not be aware of them.*

* This is strictly in the cities. Suburban life is where isolation and loneliness thrive.

I couldn't breathe outside the other day but yeah lets just forget about the climate.

Your username is hilarious in context of this post. Sure there are a lot of horrible things that it's introduced. Replace social media with any other technology..what good have computers brought? What good has the automobile brought?

It is all perspective and humans will use tools for good and bad. There is plenty of good in the world thanks to social media.

As someone who lives in NYC, there are a lot of "sides" to it. What you're describing definitely exists, but to generalize the whole city as a laundering operation would be akin to generalizing a large tech org based on your experience with one small team.

Lovely store, had a blast spending time in there a few years ago. Moog is also employee owned! Asheville in general was a great city to spend time in.

Bit of a laughable conclusion from the data if you ask me. The comments discussing it under the actual article do a good job debunking what this author was trying to suggest.

It just happened to me, slightly different situation than a "counter offer" but it was clear upon being let go that I was retained with a short term mindset, despite what I was pitched before deciding on whether or not to sign.

Obviously we'll never know but I'd love to see an alternate timeline where those acquisitions didn't happen.

Instagram specifically has just become another ad infested shopping app for me these days.

Everything has bias, it's the human condition. The post does just fine informing readers and if you read the comments theres plenty more information on how Dominos exploits its workers and is just generally not for the people.

DO your research, sure. Fact checking is important. But if it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck..
